A 44-year-old homeless man who was arrested yesterday in Jersey City and charged with possessing heroin failed to get away with an extra stash after two envelopes of the stuff fell out of his underwear in jail today, according to court documents.

Police officers found Luis A. Diaz yesterday with two small envelopes with the words "Double Dragon" printed on them in the red ink, which contained a white powder they suspected was heroin, the documents stated.

Today, officers searched Diaz before incarcerating him, at which point two more envelopes with the white powder fell out of his underwear, the documents stated.

Diaz, who appeared today in Central Judicial Processing in Jersey City via video link from the Hudson County jail in Kearny, was charged with possession of heroin on Tuesday and then again today.

For the drug charges, Diaz had his bail set at $7,500, with a 10 percent option. However, Judge Margaret Marley told him that because he had violated probation ordered by another judge, he was being held on no bail status.
